PEP326L Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology HOME PAGE |
|
Students, This is the Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology I used during COVID-19. All weekly Modules are live and activated because I now use this remote delivery of this class for special student issues (i.e., health) and/or scheduling conflicts. |
|
1) Each week we will have Exercise Physiology topical content which I will discuss with written information and short Youtube videos. There will be ONE WEB PAGE link for you to follow for each week (See below).
2) Every student will work at her/his OWN pace, on your own time, through each week's content.
3) For each week there is an OPEN NOTE Exam, from the content that I provide you for that week. I suggest you download the Weekly EXAM first, and answer the questions as you work through the YOUTUBE videos.
4) Each Weekly Exam (from the 16 modules below) is due by the Friday of that week at midnight (no late papers accepted without a valid excuse). Send your exam to Dr. Kravitz (lkraviz@unm.edu). The 'weight' of each exam and/or lab (and Final Exam) for that week is factored into a 100pt grading scale: Click HERE to see.
5) Exercise Physiology One-on-One with Dr. Kravitz via ZOOM. Class, PEP326 can sometimes be confusing, particlarly with the metabolism pathways we study. If you wish additional assistance with any topic email Dr. Kravitz (lkravitz@unm.edu) to set up a ZOOM meeting.
SPECIAL REMINDER: Please do ONE module each week and send to Dr. Kravitz (lkravitz@unm.edu) by Friday, 12midnight or Sooner. |
